The morning after | lectured in
WilkeSbarre there was great col

mine for recognition. Wives were
wrlnging their hands and children

Sitting at the mouth by a pale
corpse was il young wife. She
looked at her husband, but uttered

rocked herself to and fro, her face
white with anguish.

II is not known how many butchers are
interested in the poultry, but every one
in the city who serves conforming Jewish
customers p&tronizas this place. Friday is
the best day for killing, and the slaughter
begins about O'Clock in the morning.
It continues then Until all the fowls
have tapped their last flap, and most
of them have been carted away to
the butcher shops. Thursday is the next

saDeuinsry spot, land to-day 10000 or
IL, 1000 have undergone the same process.
Saturday is the only day in the week that
the big GOODS are anything like empty. 1t
being tie Jewish Sabbath, bu:cherlng is
postponed until Sunday.
One would think that it required good
many experienced butchers to dispatch
such large lumber OF fowls, but the
method of killing is so simple aud rapid
that few men can readily do the work
in few hours. Each butcher or owner
of poultry employs his regular rabbi to
do the killing, and sometimes there are
as many as twenty-five working away like
beavers at the neeks of chickens, ducks
and geese in this dead-house of feathery
creation. Eleven rabbits are constants
employed. An expsrt and fast killer can
easily Kill 175 fowls an hour.

done is loom about sixty feet in depth
and thirty wide. Around the wall are

CHOLERA VICTIMS.

Two Children Taken from the Britannia
Die with the Dreadsd Disease.
new YORK, Nov. 2.-It seems to be
very evident, Judging from the latest de-
velopments in the cases of cholera OF the
stricken patients quarantine, that the
health officers and commissioners OF quar-
antine are not keeping the public In
formed of the true state OF affairs. At
the station sense Of mystery and con-
cealment seems to peTvade every move
ment of the commissioners. Monday
night DR.. Smith sent up bulletin an
nouncing that sll of the Alesia SURVIVORS
were well, with the exception Of two or
three VINO were suffering with intestinal
cstarrh. The bulletin also states
the Doctor had removed Antoinetta
Domarice, aged two years, and Pedro
Marco, aged twelve years, both suffering
from measles from the Brittania. To-day
8 reporter was told that these were in
very truth cases Of cholera; that they had
died late Monday night ard were buried
this morning. Avisit was made to Look
out Station, at the quarantine, to ascer-
tain il the rumor was true. An assistant
of Dr.. Smith was in charge, and with
some hesitation and beating about sd
mitted that it was true. Then he added:
"I may as well tell you that we have no
cases OF measles bere-We have nothing
but cholera" The commissioners have
secured the packet ship, Washington, for
the removal of the Alesia's passengers
from the island. A clause in the laws
regulating quarantine requires the board
to have in attendance st al times hospi-
tGl ships. This afternoon Quarantine
Commissioner Nytholis left for Washing
ton to confer with Secretary Fairchild
shout his disposition OF the cholera IL
fecIed ships.
